Vice President JD Vance to Deliver Speech in Middletown Friday
Vance will speak on the Trump administration’s economic agenda as Ohio Republicans and Democrats compete in key governor and Senate races.
- On Friday, Vice President JD Vance will return to his hometown of Middletown, Ohio, to speak at the Cleveland-Cliffs Middletown Works steel plant regarding the Trump Administration's "America First" economic agenda.
- The mill, formerly known as Armco Steel, opened in 1900 and holds personal significance for Vance, who wrote about his family's connection in his 2016 memoir, "Hillbilly Elegy."
- Pursuing a major modernization project, Cleveland-Cliffs aims to create up to 1,500 jobs during construction, though regulatory approval from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency remains pending.
- Energy Secretary Chris Wright will accompany the Vice President for the event, which occurs ahead of critical November midterm elections featuring high-stakes races for Ohio's governor and Senate seats.
- Officials warn residents to expect law enforcement presence and possible delays through Sunday, August 23, as the modernization project's future remains dependent on obtaining necessary regulatory permits.
